weather conditions across the region. this is jim thorpe pennsylvania. snow has been falling for most of the day. heavy wet snow, not the fluffy variety. >> moving south to wet rush hour, flakes mixed with rain. take it slow if you have to hit the roadways. now, we've been really happy to report, many of you sending in pictures of the snow and rain. >> you always like to take pictures of the first snowfall. vince lattanzio joins us now to look at some of those. >> we have great pictures coming across the area. nick said he had to get out there and do a little skin boarding on some of the snowy slush that was coming down. he can't feel his feet any more, but it was definitely worth it. let's keep going, this is in the suburbs of pennsylvania, alex got a pretty good little snowman there. he got a nice little face and scarf going on. this is what it looks like in exton. a lot of snow on the trees. you can see some of the branches leaning down a little bit there.

thank you for sending us that. this is what it looks like in the lehigh valley. kevin sent us this picture to sheena and glenn and to nbc10. this is in strouds berg. we're going to be sharing more of your images. we will be showcasing more pictures at 6:00, and don't forget to download the nbc10 first alert weather app. keith? >> thanks very much. the first alert weather team has been tracking this storm for days. >> sheena parveen and glenn hurricane schwartz, have the up to the minute snow totals as well as when the storm will move out. glenn, we'll start with you. >> we've been talking about this storm since last friday. had the first alert out on sunday. the storm moving pretty quickly now, this is six hours worth of radar, you can see as it moves up into new england, they're getting clobbered in parts of massachusetts and maine. we have a bit of snow left before it moves ott of here. so it's not totally over with

yet. and these areas of the darker blue indicating bands of heavier snow as they move through. and this one band that came through lancaster county, out in central chester, you get a quick inch out of something like this, the same band goes all the way up to the lehigh valley, and once again, get a little more accumulation. fortunately, the temperatures are just warm enough, so a lot of this is melting, we told you a degree or two can make a difference. in this case, the degree or two was on the warmer side. first snow of the day in kent county in delaware. atlantic county getting a little bit of snow. for the first time. the greatest amounts, of course, in the poconos, six inches plus. east nantmeal and chester county three. malvern in about 3.5. nazareth five and a half.

sheena will update this later on tonight with final snow totals. we're barely above freezing in the areas that got accumulating snow. and we're in the mid-30s, in philadelphia we got down to 34, while it was snowing hard, and it makes a big difference how hard that know is falling from the effect of its temperatures. let's see what happens for the rest of the night. >> glenn, in the areas that have been seeing the snow all day today are still seeing the snow, like glenn just showed you on the radar, the areas that have seen rain today, are finally starting to see the changeover to snow. here's a look at future weather. had is the area that's seen most accumulations. the longest duration of snowfall today. temperatures barely above freezing, the snow as we go through the next few hours will start to taper off. closer to 8:00, 9:00 tonight. you still see those temperatures a little above freezing there, overnight tonight. they get a little colder. by early tomorrow morning, we could be dealing with slick roadways north and west.

for the i-95 corridor from wilmington up to trenton. you see the snowfalling, we expect this to last for at least an hour or two longer. you see by 7:00 p.m., temperatures above freezing before it comes to an end. we will be seeing drying conditions as we go through the late hours tonight. for south jersey and delaware, you see the rain/snow line moving in as it is on radar. this is future weather, showing temperatures staying above freezing, and over the next couple hours, that rain/snow line shifts off shore, we see snow continuing in south jersey, and quickly drying up afterwards. temperatures staying above freezing in these areas through the 10:00 hour. as far as the snowfall totals are concerned for the rest of tonight. we could see anywhere from 8 to 12 by the end of this whole thing for the poconos. possibly 3 to 5 still areas north and west of philadelphia, and we could see about 1 to 2 around the philadelphia area, keep in mind this will be only grassy surfaces, most of the roadways are not going to be

able to hold on to that snowfall. they're a little too warm at this time. rain and snow ending, clouds lingering, a little above freezing in philadelphia, a little below freezing north and west. that's where we could see slick spots in your morning. a great day to travel tomorrow, when you compare it to today. if you need to get on the roadways, do it early tomorrow morning. it will be cloudy and cold, it will be dry, more sun as we go into friday, into the weekend. we will be staying on the dry side, we're going to have a little bit of a dry stretch here, a chance on tuesday, possibly for some rain/snow showers. we're going to keep tracking this as we go through tonight. the areas that have not seen snow today, now changing over to snow, certainly something to keep our eye on. >> the fact that the temperatures stayed above freezing in many of the areas. that was a real difference maker. >> yeah, absolutely. >> the cold air was coming from up there. a couple degrees up there, cooler, and that would have been

a lot of snow instead of rain in those areas across delaware. >> that temperature difference. >> that's why they're tricky. >> thank you very much, guys. >> let's go outside, travel up to the poconos, at least eight inches have fallen here in some parts. this is a live look at camel back ski resort, our live team coverage isn't through, we're here to keep you up to date with the latest information. count on nbc10.

state police are dealing with over 200 accidents so far, there was a fatality in new jersey, at least one so far reported. that was in woodbridge when two cars collided on a slippery section of highway 27 in woodbridge. the female driver about 55 years old dying p.m. the state operations center, traffic management center very busy today, calling in extra people to monitor roads across the state, to try to keep them open. they say what a few years ago would have been a two and a half hour delay, with smart traffic management, they got it down to about 40 minutes on average. in woodbridge, nbc10 news. >> just a bit further north, take a look at conditions in central new york, this is albany. the roads stayed clear, while the snow clung to the grassy areas and tree branches. >> and to our south, snow fell steadily for hours in north carolina.
